Today was definitely tiring. Juggling chores, laundry, errands, and my homework, I am exhausted. And pretty much, that's what I've been up to for the most part of this day. Though, I was invited to the Birthdays of the daughters (it was a joined birthday celebration) of my mom's former co-worker. It's not that I didn't want to go, because I truly wanted to visit and be there for her 18th birthday, but with all the stuff I had to do, it was really hard to find time without being too late. Plus I didn't have a gift and with my current situation in where money is extremely tight, there was no way I could possibly get a gift that would be only right to give especially with her being 18 with her sister's birthday to add on to it. I really do feel bad that I didn't go, but hopefully they would understand where my family and I are coming from. Plus my mom didn't want to feel sympathy from her former co-worker either because of her immobility after this long. It's sad, I know, but it's what we've came to deal with and now we're just merely trying to get by with faith, family, friends and some good laughter being the escape from our own reality.
